The Legacy of Time was a special anthology released in July 2019 to celebrate twenty years of Big Finish Productions making Doctor Who stories on audio.

Marketed as the biggest audio crossover event ever[1], it featured six incarnations of the Doctor, as well as Bernice Summerfield, River Song, Romana II and Leela, both the 1970s and 2010s UNIT teams, and Counter-Measures.

The anthology also celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the Counter-Measures team the previous year.
